Are you ready for the best crunchy contest EVER ? YES EVER. Because it's centered around ...

Yup ~ ! Sword Art Online !

" In the near future, a Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (VRMMORPG) called Sword Art Online has been released where players control their avatars with their bodies using a piece of technology called: Nerve Gear. One day, players discover they cannot log out, as the game creator is holding them captive unless they reach the 100th floor of the game's tower and defeat the final boss. However, if they die in the game, they die in real life. Their struggle for survival starts now.. "

Such an elaborate and CUTE DESIGN ~ ! This really took the instructions to the next level, as she included lots of detailed sketches ~ ! Facebook fans liked this entry the best ~ <3 PM me your address !

But I just don't get the "integreate a class in our design" part. Does that mean we have to specify in the drawing what class our character is, or does our drawing have to sugest what class our character is?...............Im confused.
